An Act providing solar energy to state agencies

This bill requires state agencies in Massachusetts to install solar energy systems on new buildings or major renovations starting in 2024. The law mandates that these systems generate enough electricity to meet 100 percent of a building's annual power needs, either through rooftop panels or ground-mounted arrays if space allows. Agencies can request exemptions if there is insufficient roof space or if they choose to install an alternative renewable energy system that produces an equivalent amount of power.
